Toni Kent keynote speaker

Toni is a powerhouse speaker who doesnt just talk about social mobility—she redefines the conversation. As the founder of The Common Good Network, she has built a groundbreaking platform connecting service users, providers, corporate partners, and supporters to dismantle systemic barriers and drive meaningful change towards greater social equity.

With decades of experience feeding into her social mobility journey, including 10 years at Microsoft, Toni offers sharp, often unheard insights into one of the most complex and misunderstood areas of modern society. Her ability to blend lived experience with deep strategic expertise makes her an unforgettable voice on stage, challenging audiences to rethink what equity, inclusion, and opportunity really mean.

Toni has delivered keynote speeches for leading names across technology, finance, and law, inspiring organisations to take real action. Keynote clients have included the likes of Amazon Web Services, KPMG, Microsoft, PWC and Enterprise Group. She has also twice hosted the UK Social Mobility Awards, cementing her role as a trusted advocate and thought leader in this space.

A humorous and charismatic performer, Toni’s talks are bold, engaging, and thought-provoking, packed with fresh perspectives and actionable strategies. Whether addressing C-suite executives, policymakers, or changemakers, Toni leaves audiences with the tools—and the motivation—to build a more accessible and equitable future.

I have to say, if you’re looking for someone who can deliver a practical and thought provoking message that engages all participants – I would thoroughly recommend Toni!

Toni did brilliantly at the Conference. She got great feedback from our delegates, who found her inspirational and left with food for thought. It was lovely that she also stayed for the dinner and was able to chat with delegates after the presentation.

“Toni was really amazing and the conversation was just so organic. Toni was so natural and relatable that it really had a strong impact! I thoroughly enjoyed this session!”

“I’ve heard Toni speak a few times now and I find she’s a really engaging speaker and manages to captivate the attention of the audience. Toni has a fascinating story about her upbringing and the journey she’s been on which is very relatable and inspiring for those who come from lower-socio economic backgrounds, or for those who may experience imposter syndrome.

I worked with Toni to create a workshop for some students on ‘selling your story’, which she tailored to our company values. Feedback from the students was very positive and we’re hoping to get Toni involved in similar events in the future.”
